SonicWall and CrowdStrike Launch New Managed Detection and Response Offering for SMBs

SonicWall and CrowdStrike Join Forces to Enhance Cybersecurity for SMBs

In a groundbreaking collaboration, SonicWall and CrowdStrike have unveiled a new Managed Detection and Response (MDR) offering aimed at bolstering cybersecurity for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs). This partnership merges SonicWall’s renowned Managed Security Services (MSS) with CrowdStrike’s advanced Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) capabilities, creating a robust, AI-native security solution tailored for Managed Service Providers (MSPs).

As cyber threats become increasingly sophisticated, SMBs find themselves in the crosshairs of malicious actors. The new MDR offering combines CrowdStrike’s cutting-edge AI-driven endpoint protection with SonicWall’s 24/7 Security Operations Center (SOC), providing MSPs with the essential tools to defend their clients against evolving cyber risks. This scalable solution not only addresses complex security challenges but also fosters trust among SMBs navigating a perilous digital landscape.

“We’re thrilled to partner with CrowdStrike to deliver SMBs the best of both worlds: industry-leading AI-native endpoint security and the trusted, expert-managed services that SonicWall is known for,” stated SonicWall CEO Bob VanKirk. He emphasized the collaboration’s commitment to equipping MSPs with advanced security tools and expert support, enabling them to protect their clients effectively.

CrowdStrike’s Chief Business Officer, Daniel Bernard, echoed this sentiment, highlighting the synergy between the two companies. “SonicWall’s extensive SMB presence and dedication to supporting MSPs make this partnership a natural fit. Together, we are providing scalable, effective AI-powered cybersecurity solutions that are easy to deploy and tailored to the unique needs of SMBs.”

As cyber threats continue to escalate, this partnership marks a significant step forward in empowering MSPs to safeguard the backbone of the economy—small and medium-sized businesses.
